Time 3h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds lean beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 large onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 ½ cups Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®)
2 cups chopped carrot
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Toss the beef cubes with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Dredge the beef in this to coat.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef, and brown on all sides. Add the onions, and garlic. Stir the tomato paste into a small amount of water to dilute; pour into the pan and stir to blend. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Pour 1/2 cup of the beer into the pan, and as it begins to boil, scrape any bits of food from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. This adds a lot of flavor to the broth. Pour in the rest of the beer, and add the carrots and thyme. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.

CHOCOLATE STOUT CAKE WITH IRISH CREAM FROSTING



Chocolate Stout Cake with Irish Cream Frosting image

Provided by Stuart O'Keeffe

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1 tablespoon at room temperature for the pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup Irish stout, such as Guinness
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur, such as Baileys
1 small bar chocolate (milk, bitter or semisweet will work)

Steps:

  • For the chocolate stout cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with the room temperature butter, then line it with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Combine the stout, melted butter, vanilla extract and vinegar in a separate large bowl and mix well. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
  • For the Irish cream frosting: Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the confectioners' sugar and mix on low speed until smooth and combined. Add 1 tablespoon of the Irish cream liqueur and mix until smooth and spreadable, 2 to 3 minutes. You can add another tablespoon of liqueur if needed to get the right consistency--it should be smooth but still thick enough to spread.
  • Remove the cake from the pan and spread the frosting on top. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the chocolate over the top. Serve.

STOUT & IRISH CREAM CUPCAKES



Stout & Irish Cream Cupcakes image

This is a recipe that I got from browneyedbaker its great for St. Patricks Day or any other holiday for that matter

Provided by Richie352

Categories     Dessert

Time 57m

Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup Guinness stout
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2/3 cup sour cream
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons Irish whiskey
2 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
5 cups powdered sugar
6 tablespoons bailey's irish cream

Steps:

  • 1. To Make the Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 24 cupcake cups with liners. Bring the Guinness and butter to a simmer in a heavy, medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the cocoa powder and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Cool slightly.
  • 2. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a large bowl to combine. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sour cream on medium speed until combined. Add the Guinness-chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and beat just to combine. Reduce the speed to low, add the flour mixture and beat briefly. Using a rubber spatula, fold the batter until completely combined. Divide the batter among the cupcake liners. Bake until a thin knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 17 minutes. Cool the cupcakes on a rack.
  • 3. To Make the Whiskey Ganache Filling: Finely chop the chocolate and transfer it to a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream until simmering and pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for one minute and then, using a rubber spatula, stir it from the center outward until smooth. Add the butter and whiskey and stir until combined. Let the ganache cool until thick but still soft enough to be piped.
  • 4. To Fill the Cupcakes: Using a 1-inch round cookie cutter (or the bottom of a large decorating tip), cut the centers out of the cooled cupcakes, going about two-thirds of the way down. Transfer the ganache to a piping back with a wide tip and fill the holes in each cupcake to the top.
  • 5. To Make the Baileys Frosting: Using the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, whip the butter on medium-high speed for 5 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Reduce the speed to medium-low and gradually add the powdered sugar until all of it is incorporated. Add the Baileys, increase the speed to medium-high and whip for another 2 to 3 minutes, until it is light and fluffy.
  • 6. Using your favorite decorating tip, or an offset spatula, frost the cupcakes and decorate with sprinkles, if desired. Store the cupcakes in an airtight container.

GLAZED CORNED BEEF & CABBAGE N IRISH STOUT BEER



Glazed Corned Beef & Cabbage N Irish Stout Beer image

We love this corned beef recipe. But we especially liked the glaze for the meat. The mix of flavors was great together. Delicious for a St. Patrick's Day dinner. Hmmm... the glaze may pair well with other meats as too.

Provided by Rose Mary Mogan

Categories     Other Main Dishes

Time 4h5m

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 1/2 lb corned beef flats (not the point cuts)
1 bottle 12 oz. Irish stout beer (more if desired)
2 bay leaves
6 clove garlic chopped in large pieces
3 lb red skin potatoes; washed & quartered
2 lb baby carrots
3 large onions; cut into 6's or 8's pieces
1 bunch green onions; chopped (optional)
1-2 cabbage heads; cut into wedges
6-8 large cabbage leaves; blanched or mircowaved for garnish (optional)
CORNED BEEF BRISKET GLAZE
1/2 stick butter
1 c Heinz catsup (my personal favorite)
1 c Splenda brown sugar blend (not firmly packed)
2 Tbsp brown mustard or Dijon mustard
1/3 c apple cider vinegar
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp horseradish (from refrigerated section)

Steps:

  • 1. This is the large pot I used to cook the corned beef briskets in. The formula for cooking corned beef briskets is usually between 50 minutes to 1 hour per pound. But if you are cooking 6 1/2 pounds as I did today, use the time for the largest piece of meat, NOT the combined total for the weight of the meat. These 2 pieces cooked in about 3 hours, on SIMMER, AFTER THE WATER CAME TO A BOIL.
  • 2. Add briskets to a large pot, then add contents of spice packet.
  • 3. Cover briskets completely with water.
  • 4. Add the beer if using. Turn the fire to medium high, and then bring to a boil.
  • 5. When it comes to a boil, skim foam from top of water. Then lower heat and allow meat to simmer for about 50 minutes to 1 hour per pound for the weight of the largest brisket if cooking more than one. Or cook until meat has reached desired tenderness.
  • 6. When cook time has elapsed, remove briskets from pot and place on a rack in a large roasting pan, PRE-HEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES F. Prepare glaze, by combining all the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer until butter has melted, then brush on top of briskets every 10 minutes, for a total of about 3 times. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • 7. When glaze has set, remove from oven and let set for about 10 minutes before slicing to serve. You will have some glaze left over. Can serve on the side with the corned beef and can also be used on a ham.
  • 8. While corned beef is baking in oven cook the remaining vegetables. Add onions, garlic potatoes & carrots to the pot the briskets were cooked in and cook for 10 minutes. Then add the cabbage wedges and continue to cook for 20 to 25 minutes longer or until all the veggies are tender.
  • 9. Blanch or microwave large outer cabbage leaves for about 5 to 6 minutes. Wash first and allow a little water to stay on the leaves, place in a covered bowl, and cook in microwave till bright green. Then line large platter with the leaves cutting in half if need be, then retrieve the veggies from the pot with a large slotted spoon, and place in platter, sprinkle with chopped green onions or chopped chive, garnish with bell pepper strips if desired.
  • 10. Slice corned beef brisket with electric knife and arrange on top of veggies before taking to table.
  • 11. Place on table and allow guest to help themselves.
  • 12. This is the platter that I made and gave to the neighbors, they LOVED IT & I love sharing it with them.

CREAMY IRISH STOUT CUPCAKES



Creamy Irish Stout Cupcakes image

This is the moistest cupcake I have ever had. The chocolate and Guinness are wonderful together and make a cupcake you will want again and again. The Bailey's Irish Cream frosting is also to die for. Please mix the sugar for the frosting slowly so that you don't get a grainy texture in your frosting.

Provided by Amy Wexler

Categories     Other Desserts

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 18

GUINNESS CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
1 c stout beer such as guinness
1 c 2 sticks of butter
3/4 c unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder
2 c flour
2 1/2 c sugar
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 c sour cream
GANACHE FILLING
8 oz chocolate
2/3 c heavy cream
3 Tbsp butter, softened
IRISH CREME FROSTING
4 c confectioners' sugar
1 stick of softened butter
4 Tbsp of baileys or any irish creme liquer

Steps:

  • 1. Special equipment: 1-inch round cookie cutter or an apple corer and a piping bag (though a plastic bag with the corner snipped off will also work) (I used a knife and did something similar to the cone method where. I just made a circle in the cupcake. The cupcake is so moist that the section just comes right out.)
  • 2. Make the cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 24 cupcake cups with liners. Bring 1 cup stout and 1 cup butter to simmer in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add cocoa powder and whisk until mixture is smooth. Cool slightly.
  • 3. Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in large bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat eggs and sour cream in another large bowl to blend. Add stout-chocolate mixture to egg mixture and beat just to combine. Add flour mixture and beat briefly on slow speed. Using rubber spatula, fold batter until completely combined. Divide batter among cupcake liners, filling them 2/3 to 3/4 of the way. Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, rotating them once front to back if your oven bakes unevenly, about 17 minutes. Cool cupcakes on a rack completely.
  • 4. Make the filling: Chop the chocolate and transfer it to a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream until simmering and pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for one minute and then stir until smooth. (If this has not sufficiently melted the chocolate, you can return it to a double-boiler to gently melt what remains. 20 seconds in the microwave, watching carefully, will also work.) Add the butter and stir until combined.
  • 5. Fill the cupcakes: Let the ganache cool until thick but still soft enough to be piped (the fridge will speed this along but you must stir it every 10 minutes). Meanwhile, using your 1-inch round cookie cutter or an apple corer, cut the centers out of the cooled cupcakes. You want to go most of the way down the cupcake but not cut through the bottom - aim for 2/3 of the way. A slim spoon or grapefruit knife will help you get the center out. Those are your "tasters". Put the ganache into a piping bag with a wide tip and fill the holes in each cupcake to the top.
  • 6. Make the frosting: Whip the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, for several minutes. You want to get it very light and fluffy. Slowly add the powdered sugar, a few tablespoons at a time.
  • 7. When the frosting looks thick enough to spread, drizzle in the Baileys (or milk) and whip it until combined. If this has made the frosting too thin (it shouldn't, but just in case) beat in another spoonful or two of powdered sugar. Ice the cupcakes...

IRISH CHEDDAR FONDUE WITH STOUT AND WHISKEY



Irish Cheddar Fondue with Stout and Whiskey image

I am unsure where this originated from but one of my girlfriends brought this to girls night. She came prepared with recipe and directions made up for us. Smart girl!! Since then, I have made this up several times with several different groups of people and it has not lasted very long. It is always a good thing when some is...

Provided by Dawna Granger

Categories     Cheese Appetizers

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 c shredded irish cheddar cheese (10 ounces)
1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp butter
2 medium cloves garlic, finely minced (about 2 teaspoons)
12 oz irish stout beer
2 Tbsp irish whiskey
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground mustard powder

Steps:

  • 1. Toss the shredded cheese with the cornstarch in a large bowl and set aside.
  • 2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan or saucier over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant and just beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Pour in the stout and whiskey, stir in salt and mustard powder. When the sauce begins to simmer, reduce heat to medium low.
  • 3. Add one (1) handful of the cheese and cornstarch mixture to the pot and whisk until the cheese is completely melted. Continue adding handfuls of the cheese mixture to the pot, stirring until each addition is melted before adding the next addition of cheese; this will take 2 to 3 minutes. When all of the cheese has been melted, continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer the fondue to a bowl and serve immediately with cubed bread, sliced apples, or leftover corned beef as dippers.

IRISH CHOCOLATE STOUT



Irish Chocolate Stout image

A very good traditional Irish stout made with chocolate malt.

Provided by ctgravier

Categories     Drinks Recipes     Beer

Time 3h

Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 gallons water
2 teaspoons gypsum, divided
5 pounds English 2-row pale malt
1 pound chocolate malt (dry)
4 ounces roasted barley
6 ounces black patent malt
3 pounds dry malt extract
2 ounces Fuggles hops
1 ounce Willamette hops
1 (.4 ounce) packet Irish ale yeast
1 ounce Irish moss
5 ounces corn sugar (dextrose)
1 ½ gallons water

Steps:

  • Pour 3 gallons of water into a large stainless steel pot. Heat to 130 degrees F (55 degrees C). This works best using an outdoor propane burner from a turkey fryer, but you can also use your stove. Add 1 teaspoon gypsum, English malt, chocolate malt, roasted barley and black patent malt in a nylon steeping bag. Steep for 30 minutes, maintaining the temperature.
  • After 30 minutes, increase the heat to 152 degrees F (65 degrees C). Steep for 60 minutes, maintaining a constant temperature. Remove grains to a separate pot to drain and bring the wort to a boil. Rinse the grains with water of the same temperature and pour the liquid into the pot. Stir in the dry malt extract and 1 teaspoon of gypsum. Return to a boil and add the Fuggles hops; set a timer for 60 minutes. When there are 15 minutes left, add the Irish moss. When 10 minutes are left, add the Willamette hops.
  • About the same time as you add the Irish moss and final hops, prepare an ice bath by filling a sink, large tub or cooler with ice. When the time is up, remove the pot from the heat, cover and place in the ice bath. Be careful not to drop anything into the pot that is not sterilized, including spoons. Cool your wort to 68 degrees F (20 degrees C). You can swirl around the ice bath to help it cool.
  • Meanwhile, dissolve the yeast in 1 cup of water (70 degrees F) and let it stand until ready to use. This will help to keep from shocking your yeast and ensure a faster start of the fermentation.
  • Strain the wort into a sterile fermenter (carboy) and add the yeast. Add enough bottled or boiled and cooled water to reach the 5 1/2 gallon mark, about 1 1/2 more gallons. Seal with a cap and shake or rotate to mix in the yeast. Replace the cap on the fermenter with an airlock and place in a cool dry place where the temperature remains consistently below 70 degrees F (21 degrees C). Ferment for 7 days or until it stops foaming.
  • Use a sterile siphon hose to transfer the beer to a secondary fermenter. Set in a place where the temperature is 64 degrees F (17 degrees C). Cap with the airlock and ferment for 14 days, or until the specific gravity has dropped to 1.005 when tested using a hydrometer or does not change for several days.
  • Sterilize your bottles for bottling. Pour the beer into a new sterile 5 gallon bucket and stir in the corn sugar until dissolved. Siphon into sterile bottles and cap. Let the beer prime in the bottle for at least 14 days in a place where the temperature stays below 70 degrees F (21 degrees C).

IRISH MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH STOUT



Irish Macaroni and Cheese With Stout image

I made this for St Patty's one year from a FoodNetwork recipe. Unfortunately my paper copy is missing and it's no longer on the FN site, but some kind soul saved it for the masses. I'm going to re-post it on Zaar so I never lose it again! This is a great Mac n Cheese for people who are done with the box or nasty ol' Velveeta.
